While we have been enjoying the popular eats in Walt Disney World, we truly can’t explain our excitement to eat some iconic Disneyland food again! We got a little taste of Disneyland eats at some of the food booths at A Touch of Disney, like churros and Dole Whip, but we’ve noticed a HUGE menu change at a classic Disneyland restaurant!
We can’t stop thinking about it… Disneyland and Disney California Adventure are reopening on April 30, 2021!
Disney California Adventure!
Along with digging into all of our favorite Disneyland snacks and seeing all sorts of Disney PALS all over the parks, we definitely can’t wait to RIDE. ALL. THE. RIDES. that will be welcoming guests once again on Reopening Day, from Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance to Snow White’s Enchanted Wish and beyond! Of course, not each and every attraction will be reopening along with the parks, and we have an update on one of the attractions that’s not currently on the list for reopening on April 30th.

Theme parks in California are slowly reopening.
Disneyland
Universal Studios Hollywood reopened today, and Disneyland will open its gates on April 30th! Obviously, we’re excited to get back into the parks, but the impact of these reopenings is much bigger than that. As the tourism industry slowly rebuilds in California, the economy — including small businesses — is already beginning to recover.
Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park are set to reopen VERY soon, and recently we’ve gotten all kinds of updates about the reopening.
Guests Will Get to Visit Disneyland Soon!
Yesterday, park tickets and reservations for Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel both became available, and we’ve seen restrictions announced for Disneyland hotel dining and other updates shared as well. But, today we found another update in terms of Disney’s policies and procedures when it comes to the reopening of the California parks, and specifically rules on when Disney might ask a guest to leave.
In case you missed it, this week Disneyland began selling tickets and releasing park passes once again!

After hours of waiting yesterday, we were finally able to get our park tickets. Were you?! Park reservations are already going fast, and we saw that a couple days have already been sold out!
It’s been over one year, but today, tickets for the reopening of Disneyland and Disney California Adventure went on sale!

As we probably should have expected, demand for these tickets is HIGH, leading to long wait times in a virtual queue. Earlier today, we even wondered: WHO is getting through on Disneyland’s website?!
Well, it has been quite the morning if you’re trying to grab tickets for Disneyland.

While it may feel like there has been NO progress whatsoever on their website, we’re seeing our first signs that some folks are indeed purchasing tickets and making reservations!
Today is the day! Tickets went on sale today for Disneyland, which is reopening on April 30th, over a year after it closed.

And yes, we’ve been in a LONG virtual line to get those tickets, but we’ve also been in a line to get reservations for the Grand Californian, which reopens on April 29th.
Disneyland is reopening on April 30th, and we could NOT be more excited.

We’re pretty pumped to hop on rides, meet characters — oh, and did we mention Dole Whip? Sure, you can currently snag this sweet treat at Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats in Disney California Adventure, but we’re itching to savor it in Disneyland again. Luckily, we got a big hint that we’ll be able to get our fix soon!
UPDATE: About an hour later, we were successfully able to purchase tickets!
Anybody else counting down the days until they’ll be able to explore both Disneyland parks? (We are!) It’s just a matter of WEEKS before we’re chilling on Main Street with a view of the Sleeping Beauty Castle and a churro in hand.

And, yes, we’re already VERY emotional just thinking about it! At the “A Touch of Disney” limited time event, we’ve already been able to see a few of the changes we can expect in the parks. Disney California Adventure has debuted the health and safety precautions, including limited capacity and attraction guidelines. We’ve also figured out exactly what dining and attractions will reopen with the parks! And now, tickets are officially on sale.
